Everyone has that 1 fish that is their main display, will not get out of the way for coral pics, follows you each time, show piece fish everyboy looks at or notices. I have 3 juv tangs (1 black, 1 chevron, 1 orange shoulder), but I'm looking for that fish that that everyone looks for or notices 1st when they come into the Reef Room. All 3 of my tangs are great and I wouldn't get rid of them. I guess I'm looking for that show piece fish and color too (maybe that's why I looked into large angels) for my 240. So.... what is your show piece fish???? Thanks

Showpiece fish for other reefers (( non-reefers can even think that bubble algae is a showpiece ;) ))

From my 40

I think the achilles and sohal tangs would make a nice combo in a very large tank.

I agree, but I think 2 bosses in the DT wouldn't be good. I'd like a sohal, but I'm concerned with the attitude he may bring.

No pic, but my showpiece is my large Australian Harlequin Tusk. I have an SPS/chalice/LPS tank and it's never touched corals. I also have 5 shrimps that it leaves alone and even let's the cleaner shrimp clean him

Thank you. How is it in a reef for you?

Excluding fleshy LPS, it leaves corals alone -- can see some of them in the picture above. My milli still shows great PE.
